Johnny Rockets now $9.95 cover charge.

Remember, this is only a “test” on Oasis. [emoji23]

Like the test to make all occupants of a stateroom purchase a drink package?

You're very funny:halo:

[Verde Man]

I am on back to back on the Oasis this April. I have enjoyed JR's in the past, but at this price I will have to skip them.

Ooh - how about a thread with all the "just a tests" that became policy unless a big stink was made.

It would be quite the list for all the cruise lines . :o

Keep in mind that all BW balcony cabins get up to 4 cover charges do lunch. And the CP balconies can use that for lunch as well one day, but only for two cover charges.

The MDR serves breakfast. ;)

 

Unlikely that we'll have too much time to spend there with 122 performances during the cruise (it's a music charter), but I'm hoping to try it at least once. Breakfast is sit-down service and no buffet in the MDR, right?

 

Check out Cafe Promenade, they might have some items of interest there.

 

Small cold-cut sandwiches for the most part. And maybe those cheesecake-on-a-stick things, which were sadly lacking last year. :confused:

JR over Giovanni's--you're kidding.

There's is a small buffet type in the MDR at breakfast. Also, on Oasis class for lunch on sea days there's the Tutti Salad bar to go along the luncheon menu.

I doubt everyone is quite as sophisticated as you.

 

We did Savor for one of our weeks last month. Kind of burned out on Giovanni

When we started going to Johnny Rockets it was $5 pp. We will still go at least once- My DH enjoys the shakes, hot dogs and fries- I couldn't care less as you can get similar food, except the shakes, all over the ship. However this is part of our cruise tradition.

We did Giovanni's 3 times on our 7 night cruise on Freedom in June and loved it.

We enjoyed Giovanni’s as well. I had the shank.

On one class of ships, as a limited time promotional marketing effort.

In order to get someone hooked and then raise the price.

I can see that happening.

Have any other ships raised the price yet?

 

Limited time has been going on over a year

 

Of course it's one class, no other class has interior balconies.

 

The original program rules were for Giovanni exclusively. A change was made to include JR's and Savor. Either Giovanni was overwhelmed, or passengers asked for choices.

1. Don't know. We will see.

 

2. Subject to change at any time without any prior notice. it is a promotion, not a guarantee

 

3. Yes, one class.

 

4. More choice is always good.

 

We will see if they choose to increase prices fleet wide. Not sure I've ever seen a price reduction fleet wide or price reductions after a "test". I would be surprised if a few months from now every ship that has JR isn't the new price point.

[CruiseKeeper]

We are on the Anthem where Johnny Rockets is still ala carte. After reading about the new trial, we made sure to do a JR lunch while we could still afford it. ;)

 

We appreciate the heads up. I wonder what enhancement RCI will come up with to introduce this...improved service, better grade of burger, or will they use the tired old overcrowding and waste excuse?

[Don Pedro]

Once upon a time the food in Johnny Rockets was free. You just paid for the drinks. Then a small cover charge to help control crowding. Evidently that charge was not enough but I suspect there won't be much crowding at $9.95.

[mra9955]

I should've clarified, we're on Adventure and as far as I can tell, it's MDR, WJ, and Cafe for complementary, correct? 3 options is a little light compared to a MDR, Buffet, and complementary Guys and Blue Iguana at least on most Carnival.

 

 

 

Three weeks ago on Jewel those were the only lunch options. Very weak. We commented on the survey about this.

Wasn't there a pizza/sandwich venue in the Solarium

Yes, there is. However, it's not open as long as Park Cafe on other Vision/Radiance class ships, nor does it have the variety of food.

Now THIS is good intel.

I should have mentioned my cruise will be on a Freedom-class ship (the Indy). Is there a breakfast bar in the MDR on those ships? Sure hope so!

[grapau27]

On our next cruise on Independence i will check our JR breakfast menu if it is available because i never knew they had one and never normally go in to JR.

It is only on OASIS class ships that Johnny Rockets serves breakfast.
